    The final voter who broke the tie apparently explained his
    vote saying that he was just worried Trump's next choice might
    be even worse.. High praise indeed.. B)

    That and he felt like his constituents spoke out during the primary when they voted for his challenger to be the nominee this Fall... a challenger heavily endorsed by Trump that Trump (and likely AIPAC) stood up after the current congressperson didn't tow the MAGA line (and, IIRC, voted to impeach Trump at least once).

    Blanche also apparently promised to oppose the Jan 6 defense fund and another initiative that would have made the Trump family immune to future IRS tax audits, and that factored into his decision.

    I was actually shocked he didn't continue sticking it to Trump. If he got me primaried out, I sure would have.

    Oh, so one of those rare Honest politicians? B)

    Why does this feel a little like organized crime?

    Maybe he's hoping Trump may be gone before he is.. B)

    I hear Trump had to hide out in a Catering truck while they had
    a look-alike board Air Force 1 today, then he snuck out of Turkey
    on another smaller plane. He blamed the Secret Service for him
    having to do that (due to threats from Iran) because, of course,
    he's too Brave to want to do something like that.

    I hope being a Trump look-alike pays well.. B)

    I'm sure it's all about the money. Primary them out then bribe them to
    continue voting.

    If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc. :D

    I saw a political cartoon that made some reference to this but I didn't realize it was an actual event. I wonder how many other Presidents ever had to use a look-alike but were smart enough not to broadcast it?

    I hope being a Trump look-alike pays well.. B)

    I would hope so. There are not many politicians I would want to look like, and he certainly isn't one. :D

    Could be. If it were me, and the things that were said by Trump and MAGA were said about me, that bribe would have to be a very large one. Like, "how much did it cost you and AIPAC to primary me out?" large. ;)
